ORANGE SPV M3100 UNLOCK

[Guest virtual alan]

I recently lost a SPV M3100 and had a replacement issued to me

I had got a handset unlock on it before hand..........but don`t Orange also lock the handset as well?

Reason I ask is I have now found the lost handset but with any sim in it it shows "no service" after searching

Is there anyway that this handset can be re-instated at all? Or once Orange have locked/barred it is that it?

The IMEI is now blacklisted... and as such, now that you have your replacement phone, it won't be unbarred..

My advice? Don't tell Orange you found it again, strip it down for spares, and flog them (the individual parts, not the entire phone) on ebay ;)
